# Elijah Sarratt NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **BAL**. Rookie (2026 draft, Round 4). ## Quick Facts - **Position:** WR - **Team:** BAL (Baltimore Ravens) - **Bye week (2026):** 9 - **Draft:** 2026 Round 4 - **Height/Weight:** 6'2", 210 lbs ## 2026 Outlook Sarratt is a "physical chain-mover" who produced consistently in college (200 receptions, 2,978 yards, 31 TDs in 40 games at James Madison and Indiana, with 15 TDs in 2025). Ravens drafted him in Round 4 as a contested-catch specialist, targeting his wide catch radius and ability to play above the rim against tight coverage (per Ravens draft Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt — contested-catch specialists for red zone). Sarratt's specialized skill set targets Baltimore's red-zone inefficiency—the Ravens tied 5th-worst in TD conversion rate at 47.5% in 2025. Unlike the traditional deep-threat archetype, Sarratt and Lane bring ability to reel in errant or overthrown passes only they can reach, increasing Lamar Jackson's margin for error on jump balls. Sarratt noted his mentality: "any time the ball is in the air, it's mine," regardless of coverage levels. He can play X (outside), Z (motion/flexibility), or slot depending on game plan (per Ravens draft Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt — contested-catch specialists for red zone). Sarratt could fill the role vacated by Isaiah Likely's departure to the Giants, functioning as a jumbo slot receiver in the Ravens offense. While the Ravens traditionally rank low in pass rate, the opportunity created by Likely's exit provides a ceiling for a player with consistent production and chain-moving ability. (per 2026 Fantasy Football Dynasty Rookie Rankings: Post-NFL Draft). **June minicamp breakthrough:** Sarratt made one of the plays of the day at mandatory minicamp when he hauled in a 40+ yard touchdown bomb from Lamar Jackson, fighting through tight coverage from cornerback Marquise Robinson. Head coach Jesse Minter noted that Sarratt and fellow rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane will have "major opportunities" in 2026, given the number of receivers available and starting wideouts (Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman) dealing with minor injuries. Jackson praised both rookies' ability to make bang-bang catches in tight situations, hallmarks needed for NFL success. Sarratt's physical profile (6'2", 210 lbs) and contested-catch ability are translating well early in his professional adjustment (per 5 Takeaways From Baltimore Ravens Mandatory Minicamp). ## Role / Depth Chart Slot receiver, rookie. Expected to carve out early role due to reduced competition in the slot; should see field time in 3-WR sets. ## Injury Status _(no current injury concerns noted)_ ## Recent News - 2026-04-22 — Elijah Sarratt might be the perfect addition for these 5 NFL teams (Elijah Sarratt might be the perfect addition for these 5 NFL teams) - 2026-06-08 — Browns QB battle, Patrick Mahomes’ recovery among top NFL minicamp storylines - The...
